Try the Creme Brulee French Toast at Brick Lane

Even though Brick Lane only opened in the beginning of 2016, it's quickly become an integral thread in Dupont Circle's culinary tapestry, particularly when it comes to brunch. Its lengthy menu of new American brunch eats, paired with a list of fruit-infused cocktails, is the perfect recipe for a delicious brunch.

The creme brulee French toast is a perennial favorite among customers, a thick slab of challah bread fried and dusted with powdered sugar, drizzled with maple syrup, and served with a bowl of fresh fruit. For something more on the savory side, build your own omelet or order the Caprese Benedict with fresh mozzarella, tomatoes, and basil-infused hollandaise sauce. Brick Lane also offers burgers, salads, and upscale entrees like grilled hanger steak and Atlantic salmon during brunch. Any of the dishes will pair well with a signature cocktail like The Capital with Campari, dark rum, pineapple juice, and fresh lime.
